Z Type Belt Conveyor (also called “Z type elevator” or “bending belt conveyor”) is a belt conveyor used for feeding and climbing various materials. It can convey materials at an angle greater than 30 degrees or even up to 90 degrees vertically. Unlike ordinary belt conveyors, Z-belt conveyors use corrugated side wall belts with partitions in the middle to prevent products from falling during the climbing process.

Z type belt conveyor application range

With its unique spatial design and variable conveying capacity, Z belt conveyors are suitable for a variety of bulk materials that require vertical, horizontal conversion or multi-layer conveying, especially in the food and beverage industry; pharmaceutical and daily chemical industry; electronic manufacturing industry; logistics, warehousing; agriculture, light industry and other industries. Its unique structural design makes it difficult for materials to accumulate or tilt during transportation, ensuring the stability and safety of the transportation process.

Application scenarios of Z type belt conveyor

Z type belt conveyor is used for feeding and climbing conveying of various materials. It can vertically convey materials greater than 30 degrees or even up to 90 degrees. Different from ordinary belt conveyors, Z type belt conveyor uses corrugated side guard belt with partitions added in the middle to prevent products from falling during the climbing process.

Z type belt conveyor structure

1. By turning method

Type	Characteristics	Applicable Scenarios
Single Z-Type	Single horizontal-inclined-horizontal path (e.g., 1st floor → 2nd floor)	Simple floor transfer, production line connection
Multi Z-Type	Multiple Z-sections stacked (e.g., 1st floor → 2nd floor → 3rd floor)	Multi-story buildings, long-distance lifting
Spiral Z-Type	Inclined section adopts a partial spiral structure to save lateral space	Highly space-constrained facilities

2. By Belt Design

Type	Characteristics	Applicable Materials
Flat Belt + Snub Rollers	Simple structure, low cost, but limited incline angle (<45°)	Boxed items, light bulk materials
Cleated Edge Belt	Belt with sidewalls and cleats, allowing inclines up to 90°	Powders, granules, slippery materials
Modular Chain Plate	Metal/plastic interlocking plates, heavy-duty, capable of complex turns	Heavy boxes, high-temperature materials

Features of Z type belt conveyor

The conveyor belt is made of PVC material, which is wear-resistant, anti-static, anti-corrosive and dirt-resistant, and the styles can be selected from grass-patterned belts, belt strips, skirt belt strips, etc.;
It is used for large-angle or vertical conveying of bulk materials, with a conveying angle of 0-90°. The conveyor has various styles, customized sizes, and upper and lower platforms;
It can continuously convey materials below 500 kg and has strong adaptability to differences in conveying environments;
The Z type belt conveyor has corrugated walls and transverse partitions, which makes it difficult for materials to scatter when conveying, and the low and high end heights of the climbing slope, the length of the inclined surface, etc. can all be customized;
This machine can realize one or more controlled feeding, and can be easily connected to various feeding devices.
